You're OK, you're OK," Lola Webber, a campaign manager with the Humane Society International (HSI), whispers to a lab-mix puppy, cradling her in a jacket as dozens of dogs bark in nearby cages.
The puppy is moved from a rusty cage on a dog-meat farm in South Korea to a plastic crate, given the name Demi, and placed in a truck where she begins the long journey to a shelter in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to be put up for adoption.

I LOVE these people for doing this. It is so awesome.
Thank you HSI!
Good. It seems so wrong to me to do this to man’s best friend! I am not a vegetarian, but feel strongly that dogs are special creatures.
It is awesome.
And invites Indian Hindus to come to the US and demand freedom from food processing for our own food animals.
Also, how many dogs are already put to death in shelters in the US because there’s no one to adopt them?
This is also great news but there is still much to be done in China, Cambodia and Vietnam. God Bless the good people advocating for man's best friend.
This must be a fake news story. Everyone knows all cultures are equally kind.
Oh, do shut up.
By comparison in South Korea, China, etc the belief that torturing the animal before killing it makes them taste better causes dogs to undergo much pain and suffering before dying.
Marc Chin has a foundation to help dogs in asia and some of the videos he has posted left me sleepless for weeks.
"Due to a widely held belief that high adrenaline levels will produce tender meat and increase the supposed health benefits – dogs are sadistically made to experience extreme fear and suffering prior to death. They are tortured, dismembered, burned alive, electrocuted, crucified and nail gunned into walls, where they are tortured and kept alive to endure intolerable pain for sometimes up to 40 hours. Many of the toy breeds are boiled alive and then made into herbal supplements. Marc Ching has seen and video taped all of this first hand and even witnessed a dog strung up and burned alive with a blow torch right out in public at a local market where passersby were completely unfazed."
Worst job I ever had: one day of electrocuting stray dogs and cats at the Animal Rescue League of Boston. Told them I’d rather clean cages.
Did America run out of dogs in their shelters?
When I was searching for a dog to adopt, it became infuriating when I’d come across the same dogs (from Mexico) no matter what State I put in that website’s search engine. Nothing worse than seeing a photo of a dog then reading the bio and finding out that the dog is not in a local shelter but will be shipped from an undisclosed location.
I gave up searching for adoptables and decided to save money to buy a puppy.
Instead of saving dogs from other Countries, why not teach those Countries how to set up shelters? Why are we messing with their culture?
Maybe one day India will take all our cows because we eat those sacred animals.
Turn about is fair play, don’t you know?
If we can send our people to another country to interfere for animals we want kept out of the human food process, why can’t other people do the same here?
Haven’t we had enough of people dominated by their feels, yet?
It’s coming- top three pets in America- dogs, cats and chickens.
Hush with your logic.
Making pets out of animals bred for food is a bad idea.
The title is somewhat misleading. I thought for a moment that those dogs were headed to the U.S. for consumption!
Puppies may be salvageable. Adult dogs who have lived their lives in a cage and not been treated as pets may display more feral behavior and may not make it as pets.
...and don’t forget the poor guinea pigs eaten in Peru. Oh, the inhumanity!!! Maybe we should all be vegans? Oh, the inhumanity of torturing the plants!!! Maybe we should all eat gravel...
Good God! I could’ve gone my entire life not knowing this.
